Enough to be able to talk, converse and hear the radio playing whilst it is running.Īnd… I’m no longer worried at least for the neighbours sake!! Here’s basically how the compressor soundproofing box works My box design reduces compressor noise and dampens frequency ranges roughly by 30db. Saying that, I soldered on and with a bit of science and thought into the design, things worked out and here’s the results.Ĭompressor running (no box or soundproofing) –

To be honest, when I was designing and building the box, I had some fears that it wouldn’t be very effective – for example, the compressor I have is simply noisy and there wouldn’t be anything I could do about it. The orange straps keep it together tight and it’s placed upon wooden blocks until I get some decent castor wheels. This is what my design of an air compressor soundproof box looks like finished. I have a 1.5 horsepower air compressor and it’s noisy, about 95db…
